ChanelDesigner History:
Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel (b. 1883), founder of the House of Chanel, began her fashion career in 1909. She took the fashion industry by storm, introducing new and original designs that exuded elegance, sophistication and glamour. With her signature boxy jackets and knee-length skirts, her name quickly became a symbol of French elitism. From 1909 and until her death in 1971, she tightly held onto her role as Chief Designer.

The House of Chanel continues to be one of the leading fashion houses in France and offers not only dress apparel and fragrances but also a full line of accessories, cosmetics and skincare.

The fashion house is said to be privately owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, an early partner to Coco Chanel.
